The NFL and NFL Players Association agreed to modify the league’s concussion protocol following a joint investigation into the league’s procedures.
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The NFL and NFL Players Association agreed to modify the league’s concussion protocol following a joint investigation into the league’s procedures after Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered an injury against the Buffalo Bills last month.
Tagovailoa was immediately taken to the locker room and taken through the NFL’s concussion protocol, after which he was cleared of any head injury. He started the third quarter, drawing criticism from viewers about why he was allowed to return to the game. They found that Tagovailoa did not show any signs or symptoms of a concussion during his locker room exam, during the rest of the game, or throughout the following week. But immediately after he took the hit from Milano, gross motor instability was present.After the game, Tagovailoa and Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said the quarterback had suffered a back injury earlier in the game on a quarterback sneak.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is attended by medical staff after being sacked by Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Josh Tupou during the second quarter of an NFL football game at Paycor Stadium on Thursday, Sept. 29, 2022, in Cincinnati, Ohio.
